Bayes Factors show evidence against systematic relationships between the anchoring effect and the Big Five personality traits

Abstract Examining personality traits as predictors of human behaviour is of high interest. There are several but inconclusive reported relationships of personality and the susceptibility to the “anchoring effect”, a tendency to adjust estimates towards a given anchor. To provide an answer to variab...
